Ireland's Incomplete Revolution

Step into Spring with GlassesShop.com

So a couple of months ago, the lovely people at GlassesShop.com offered to do a collab with me. I was so excited but also a little skeptical having never ordered glasses online before. 

I'm going take you through the whole process but first, let me tell you a bit about my own eyes. So, my eyesight isn't too bad, I'm pretty short sighted which is probably my main complaint. I have a pretty low prescription so I was advised to wear my glasses as much as I wanted, however, I never really had a pair I felt comfortable wearing to college.

These pair of glasses I chose from GlassesShop have really given me the confidence to wear them anytime I desire.

So how does it work?

February Favourites

So for this months post, I wanted to share a few of the things I have been loving these past few weeks. I'm sitting here writing this on my reading week from college and I can't believe it's the middle of March already.
To jump right in (in no particular order); 


1. Diamond Whites "Black Edition" Charcoal Teeth Whitening

Having never dabbled in the fine art of teeth whitening before, when I was sent this product by Diamond Whites I honestly had no idea what to think. However, after using this product for the guts of 6 weeks, I wish I had thought about it years ago.

As it says on the packaging, this product is 100% natural charcoal. Pure black powder.

The Diamond Whites "Black Edition" promises to whiten your teeth as well as "strengthen your gums, remove toxins from your mouth and absorb bacteria". It also makes a huge mess.

Why Ireland Needs to Repeal the 8th

So, let’s talk about why we, as a nation, need to Repeal the 8th. If you’re not from Ireland, the “8th” is about the Eighth Amendment in the Irish constitution which equates the right to life of a woman who is pregnant with that of a foetus. Passed by a referendum in 1983, the 8th criminalises abortion in all cases apart from those where to continue the pregnancy would result in loss of a woman’s life. The 8th amendment in recent times has created an extortionate amount of debate and controversy. There are two sides to this debate, Pro- Life who favours to protect the amendment and Pro-Choice who seeks to repeal the 8th so that every woman in Ireland has the option to seek an abortion if they wish.

Christmas Gift Ideas

Can you believe it's December 18th already? This post is going to feature a lot of my favourite brands this year that I think would make perfect last minute Christmas gifts. 

1. Shadow Switch Brush Cleaner 
This beauty tool was created as a dry brush cleaner, aimed at cleaning and getting rid of product on your brushes so you can "switch" up colours and shades. Basically, it comes in a compact tin and it includes a wire sponge inside. All you do is take your brush and swirl in a circular motion until all traces of colour has gone. And then your ready to go onto the next shade! I've been using this for the past 2 months and it's saved me so much time in the mornings going to college. Retailing at just £6 on Amazon here, I feel it would make a perfect stocking or Kris Kindle present. 

The AM | PM Routine Tag

I saw this tag floating around and as I've had my blog for over 3 months now I thought it was time to do another personal tag.

AM

What is your morning routine?  

I'll usually get up on the second ring of my alarm. I am not a snooze person. I'll let Atticus outside (he's our cat not a person we are keeping hostage) and then make some coffee. I'll drink at my desk while on Twitter or responding to emails. Then I'll head in the shower.

What's for breakfast?

Coffee. That's it. Ever since I started secondary school almost 6 years ago I physically cannot eat breakfast. I don't usually crave anything until around 10am. 

Stationary Haul

Women need men to feel successful and empowered.
Global warming is a lie.

I am obsessed with stationary.

One of these above statements is true. Did you guess right? Yes, I am completely and utterly obsessed with stationary. You may even go as far as saying stationary shopping is my favourite type of shopping. 

I have a myriad of stationary in this haul; some quite expensive and others reasonably priced.
